Gregg and I fished the Yuba today. I landed two decent sized trout while Gregg hooked into a couple but did not bring any to hand.
I wanted to fish upstream of the bridge but we never made it that far. We arrived at the river around 1pm and fished until dark but stayed right around the bridge area.
Skwalla were flying around, more than I observed yesterday. Gregg rose four fish with a skwalla pattern. I also saw way more MB adults tonight. The MBs are active but it doesn't seem like the trout are keying in on the adults so much right now. We hardly saw a rise after the adults started the swarm the river, right before dark.
Below are some picture from our half day on the Yuba.

Caught on my Skwalla Adult dry fly.
I caught both of these fish in the side channel by the bridge. I was totally surprised to catch trout this size out of that channel. Gregg and I were simply playing around fishing to a little rise we saw in the channel.
Nice weather today, cloudy but not cold, no rain until we left the river at approximately 5pm.
Bring March Brown and Skwalla patterns with you if go soon.
Has anyone else caught fish in that side channel?
